Please Note: Guest memberships are available on a case-by-case basis to 1) Consultants or advisors who are currently engaged by a grantmaker/group of grantmakers specifically to advise them on workforce development grantmaking; 2) Individuals who represent organizations whose core mission is to serve as an association, coalition, or professional network for grantmaking institutions (e.g., philanthropic affinity groups); and 3) Experts who have been invited to serve as advisors to specific Workforce Matters projects. To request a guest membership, please contact us and let us know which of the above criteria describes your role

If you aren't a grantmaker, philanthropist, or foundation trustee, you're still invited to follow our work. Nonprofits, researchers, policymakers, workforce professionals, and other community partners are welcome to subscribe to our quarterly newsletter.
